Just a quick note to say that, taking on board the recommendations made from the assessments meant we had a cost effective solution to offering the best and safest workstations for our home workers. Our assessor Andrew went one step further and gave one of my team members a one-to-one call with suggestions for various desk exercises to keep her active throughout the day, which was shared with the team and we now all practice. Great work.
